Editorial profile
Cliff Lede Vineyards is a family-owned winery in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, farming more than 160 acres of estate vineyards named for the rock songs and albums that shape the winery's identity. Cabernet Sauvignon is the primary focus, from the appellation-designated Napa Valley, Rutherford, Oakville and Howell Mountain bottlings to the Stags Leap District Poetry and Rhythm vineyard-designates, which Cliff Lede considers its highest expressions.
Proprietary blends built around the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot include Crossfade, Songbook and High Fidelity, while the Rock Block Series carries small blends off individual estate blocks. A Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc round out the whites, alongside Marla, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Sauvignon Musqué.
